Odor forces flight back to Oakland airport

OAKLAND, Calif. 
Officials say a Southwest Airlines plane returned to Oakland International Airport just after takeoff after a smell was reported in the cabin and a flight attendant felt sick.

Crew members alerted the airport around 7:22 a.m. Tuesday - about ten minutes after the flight left for Burbank - that they were turning around.

Airport spokeswoman Joanne Holloway said the plane landed a few minutes later. The flight attendant was able to walk off on her own, but was examined by emergency medical technicians and taken to the hospital.
